sounds like you need to check your codes. its fully explained in the service manual with full description of the fault code. If you dont have a manual I can get mine and post the procedure for you. good luck.

Hey, I seen something similar to that the last time I ran my battery very low and then started the car. It barely started but when it did I have a bunch of CCM codes that looked similar to what you have there. Just reset the codes and see if they come back.

The flashing SYS display can indicate a bad battery. Watch the voltage display. With the ignition at the RUN position, you should see readings around 11.8 to 12.3 or so. With the engine running, you should see voltage readings ranging from 14.8 to 13.6. If you see values around 12 or so with the engine running, have a load test performend on the battery and have the alternator tested for proper output.

The fact that you had an aftermarket audio system could also be the issue. I have read posts about this same thing happening when the factory system is removed. I would post your problem again over in the Audio/Electronics section. I believe there is a resistor that needs to be installed on a wire to keep the code from showing and the SYS message flashing.

the SYS message for aftermarket stereo is a later problem, and does not seem to effect pre-93s.
